Close thread That gif of him walking into Bodymoor with a Boots meal deal or whatever in his arms while he kicks the disabled access button to open the door will always make me laugh. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed , he was also instrumental in keeping Jack Grealish at the club , Jack’s parents and agents were pushing for a move to Man Utd when he was 16 , we would have lost him for peanuts if it wasn’t for Alex McLeish, All things bad with Villa and McLeish is all on Lerner 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeyp102 Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 Bacuna. Horrible chunt. He pushed a linesman, started a fight with his team mate because they wanted a freekick over him, would throw hissy fits at the manager, was lazy. Just in general horrible. Never disliked a player as much as him 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McLeish always wanted Nzogbia at SHA the previous year but he was demanding too much in wages so think he just got a bit obsessed with signing him. Simply not worth the wait at all.

rjw63 Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 Without really thinking, because there are probably a lot, the two that jump out are: Paul Lambert; dour, mumbling useless unintelligible oaf. Nigel Callaghan; after a great debut, turned into a lazy disinterested prick. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philosopher Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 Sasa Curcic. Came to Villa for a payday and proceded party his career away while being our record signing at the time. Collymore. Villa fan from Tamworth turned us down to play for Liverpool when we were a good team. Then came to us when his head was f'ed, and beat up Ulrika Johnson, and was generally shit for us. N'zogbia, Ireland, Unsworth, most of the squad under Lambert all dishonourable mentions. Manager has to be Remi Garde. To replace Sherwood with Garde is why we were not just relegated but last, and down by Christmas. Apart from MON, every manager Lerner appointed was a bad choice, and MON was the fans choice. That man should be banned from sports teams. So worst owner is just about Tony Xia, from Lerner. One nearly sent us into administration, the other just didn't have a bloody clue how to run a football club. The worst decision maker I have ever seen, he was like a rich spoilt American Del-boy. Deadly wasn't great but he was generally a safe pair of hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heard on a podcast interview with Brian Little that Curcic missed a game to get a nose job done… no one had informed Brian beforehand either… what a joke… Probably the earliest “disaster signing” I can remember… Collymore… what a massive let down he was but that Atletico Madrid goal will live long in the memory… wow! And what a night! He didn’t do badly but I remember Alan Thompson being quite underwhelming after we signed him… just remembered him because we also signed him from Bolton (like Curcic)… he was great there, some wonderful long range goals and free kicks but he failed to reproduce that kind of form with us… still lasted a while in JG’s team… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes he was crap but that's not really what this thread is about. You can't blame Garde. Its like blaming the fireman arriving after the fire which was started by shoddy electrics. He was just a rabbit in the headlights and some of the big name player behaviour towards him in the team was a disgrace. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lerner can't even claim credit for that one! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
